Home Cleaning Robots Unite

One of the more interesting pieces of home cleaning technology in the last few years is the roomba a small self contained cleaning robot made by a company called iRobot.

The Roomba is an intelligent and effective vacuuming robot that you can set to clean your floor when you are out. The more advanced models have a recharging station to which they return after finishing cleaning or when they need a re charging.

A lot have people have used these small robots as a cheap way of experimenting with robotics there are books and entire sites devoted to modifying the roomba.

When some fans of the new battelstar galactica tv show joked that the roombas where plotting to takeover the world – some one decided that what their roomba needed was a makeover to add the signature red scanning effect that the cylons from Battlesatr galactica have.

Ps one of the more interesting things about the makers of the roomba iRobot is they also make bomb disposal an milatary robots – also the name is a nice reference to the robot SF Stories of Isaac Asimov.
